1. In the PWS under section 1.3.2 The Government is identifying that the contractor shall complete tire and/or track repairs and replacement within 24 hours of notification and shall be at no cost to the Government. Is the Government expecting the contractor to pay tire repairs caused by the Government or just for repairs caused by tires that may be worn, previously damaged etc.

a. Machine status, to include tire and track status, is assessed prior to usage, at the middle turnover point, and upon completion of the Period of Performance. Damages caused by the Government will be assessed and settled through damage claims. Another normal wear and tear damage will be accessed based on the tire/track condition at the time of each JLTI process. The Government will only be charged a prorated cost of the tire. All tire/track repairs must be completed IAW PWS guidelines.
